Matt Gurney's National Post column is a fantastic perhaps even devastating summation of much of the Prosecution's argument. However, Alexmst, as Oagre has already mentioned, that is what it is, the victim's/prosecution's story. It may not be popular, but there is a defence that can be made.

What defense? Is the defense going to say that the bastard never orally, anally and vaginally penetrated a 13 year old girl with his cock? That it never happened. That it is someone's imagination?but there is a defence that can be made.
Michael Jackson was acquitted with basically that defence.What defense? Is the defense going to say that the bastard never orally, anally and vaginally penetrated a 13 year old girl with his cock? That it never happened. That it is someone's imagination?
As to whether you or I would feel morally able to argue such a defence, that is an entirely different matter. A Defendant is entitled to a competent and adequate defence - not to force a particular lawyer to represent them against his/her wishes.
But how many men did in 1977?We should shine a light on what a fucking bastard this Roman Polanski is. The bastard didn't even wear a condom.
Yeah, Rockslinger, if he did what he is accused of, he is a cretin or worse, but let's not go completely overboard.
I just checked with Smoking gun, and the sex was NOT consensual.Less serious if it is consensual than if he forced himself on her.
She said "no" and repeatedly told him she wanted to go home:

I say lock him up
I think he needs to face justice,but I canoot seeing the Swiss passing him on to the US without lots of red tape
For those who think that raping a 13 year old girl is just a "little incident", listen to the testimony of Elizabeth Smart who was abducted at 14 and raped.
